TWC Podcast #145: Canoo’s Doka
By The Watt Car Staff — Nov. 16, 2023
Canoo unveiled its EV pickup — again! Supposedly called the American Bulldog, we think it looks more like a VW Doka…and that’s not a slam. But before we get to that topic on this week’s podcast, we discuss how the UAW strike might be far from over, the future of the Ram TRX, Lucid’s foray into electric pickups, strange bedfellows for Mercedes, and more!
